Maigret Defends Himself is a literary fiction book in the Inspector Maigret series by author Georges Simenon.
During his career, Inspector Maigret receives a summons to the Prefect’s office, where he learns that he has been accused of assaulting a young woman. For her career and fame, Maigret must fight to prove her innocence.

Maigret’s beautiful novel, in which the intrepid inspector finds himself on the side of the authorities for a time.
The details are all meticulously written and there is more than usual about Mrs. Maigret and their friends the Pardon family, or at least about Dr. Pardon, his wife focused on being a woman. extremely peripheral character, really is that close.
Modern feminists would not like these novels because Madame Maigret is an outdated concept of a wife. Her role is to support her husband when he needs it, and most references to her in Maigret’s novels focus on making her husband’s coffee, asking him if he’s coming home for lunch. , etc.
To me, they are an ideal couple, but many people will surely think that she is being taken advantage of by her husband and society, but she certainly is not.
The book is also interesting in showing how the highest ranks of the Parisian civil service were self-perpetuating elites. The book was written in the 1960s but not much has changed in that respect.
